[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you so much for your responses. Currently looking into working PT, which could help us a little. [b]I'm not loving my current job, it's actually very stressful and I usually would come home stressed out.[/b] I know that's not going to be healthy. I don't want to look back and regret missing things. I also want to keep the special bond we have now but it seems scary with us being apart 40 hours a week. Daycare moms - did you notice your kids were sick often? Maybe I'm paranoid, but I noticed many of the kids had watery eyes and runny noses when we toured the facility. *sigh* This is one of the hardest decisions. [/quote] Assuming you find that you do love staying home with your baby (at least most of the time) I think you're going to be happier doing that if you can afford it. (Keep in mind that with both parents WOH full time and sharing childcare when not at work, you will likely want/need to outsource some of the house work -- yard/house maintenance, cleaning, cooking -- so you can preserve some personal and couple time.) The "right" answer to the SAH/WOH question depends on you. Follow your bliss, to the extent that your pocketbook allows. . . [/quote]
